Eddie Hearn reveals impressive hitlist for Dmitry Bivol following Artur Beterbiev win

Dmitry Bivol produced one of the best performances of the year so far when he became undisputed light-heavyweight champion against Artur Beterbiev. 

Bivol produced a wonderful second half performance to level the series with his countryman and now he has plenty of options in front of him moving forward. 

Last October, Bivol surrendered an early lead as Beterbiev closed the fight brilliantly, but the roles were reversed in the rematch as Bivol made it 1-1 to collect all four belts. 

Their second meeting main evented one of the biggest fight cards in history, and the focus is now on what will happen next. 

It’s likely that a third meeting could be next with the pair demonstrating that there’s not much between them whenever they fight, and a trilogy is what the boxing public would like to see. 

Other options exist for Bivol if he chooses to go in another direction, and his promoter, Eddie Hearn, has offered his opinion the multiple choices that are out there for Bivol. 

“It's probably the best fight I’ve ever seen live,” said Hearn when reflecting on the fight during a conversation with BoxingScene. 

“One of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen and Bivol was sitting there now, he’s the nicest bloke in the world, and I said to him, ‘You’re king,’ and he was like, ‘Yes, I am.’  

‘And it’s like, ‘You can fight Canelo in a rematch, you can fight [David] Benavidez, you can fight Callum Smith, you can fight Beterbiev in No. 3, basically whatever His Excellency [Turki Alalshikh] says.”
